ABOUT THE BREED
Golden Retriever
Golden Retrievers are renowned for their beautiful and friendly temperaments. They are a medium sized dog originating from the United Kingdom where they were used as gun dogs. Golden Retrievers range in weight from 25 – 35 kg and have a characteristic, stunning golden coat of medium length. They are typically excellent with other pets and children making them perfect family pets. Harking back to their days of fetching in the Scottish countryside Golden Retrievers love to swim and play fetch. These beautiful dogs need daily exercise, regular brushing, and lots of love!
ABOUT THE BREED
Groodle
The Groodle is a cross breed between a Golden Retriever and a Poodle. Groodles come in a variety of sizes. Mini Groodles are small dogs whose weight ranges from 7-20 kg and are usually under 45cm in height. Standard Groodles are usually around the size of a Golden Retriever or Standard Poodle. At Cape Golden we breed our Golden Retriever females to Mini Poodle males for a smaller size dog. Size cannot be guaranteed with first generation crosses. The Groodle is known to be intelligent, affectionate, and highly trainable, with hypoallergenic coats. They are typically excellent with other pets and children making them perfect family pets. Their smaller size makes them a versatile choice. Groodles have lower shedding coats than Golden Retrievers, making them more hypoallergenic (less likely to cause allergies). Groodles can come in a variety of colours, including gold, cream, black, red, and silver.
